Cloud in my mind

Everything is vague to a degree you do not realize
till you have tried to make it precise.


To convey something new or dramatically changed, we do sometimes need a freshly created word, acronym, or repurposed word. This is because when we come up with something really new the old words don’t get the message across. On the other hand, sometimes there isn’t really much new at all – the new buzz words are just marketing spin. “Cloud Computing” is a term that is spreading fast with many different things all being called Cloud Computing. At first glance, Cloud Computing seems to be another recasting of the familiar – just a new marketing term that we can ignore.
